After reading the reviews about this restaurant, I almost didn't go. This just goes to show you bad reviews are usually not very true. To start with, when we arrived we we greeted like we we their best friends. Everyone in the place greeted us. The waitress was awesome. She was super friendly and talked to us like friends, joking around and made great suggestions. We had mussels marinara for an app. You couldn't find better, I almost wanted to order more and make it a meal it was so good. After our app I ran outside for a smoke and the waitress ran out an ashtray for me to use, very unexpected. When I walked back in another waitress told me if I wanted to have another smoke later, I can bring my drink outside and she will bring me an ashtray so I can sit outside and relax. You cannot find a place that will treat you better than this. The food is also really great. The food is very authentic and very good portions.The prices are very reasonable as well. This is now our favorite place in Orlando area to eat. We will be there every week for dinner.
I used to love this place; once upon a time it was fantastic, and then it went downhill fast. Tonight only reinforced how bad Cafè Positano is. Our waiter was Mike, which is a big part of the issue I take tonight, who is our "usual" server and while his service was better than normal, being able to hear him talk to the other waiters who were sitting around (the place was empty) and ignore us was an annoyance. My Mountain Dew was awful because the mix was off, so I changed to Dr. Pepper which tasted watered down. The salad was good, the bread and the calzone were very tough. I highlight the calzone because they gave us steak knives to cut with instead of the butter knives on the table, and the steak knife was having trouble cutting through. When I managed to slice a piece off, I had to be careful that it didn't fly off my plate.
I get that the economy isn't ideal right now, and that good help is hard to find but honestly, I don't know when or if my family and I will go back again because of how far the quality of service and food has fallen.
Possibly the best pizza on this side of Orange County. Thick crust, excellent cheese coverage, with the correct amount of sauce. Service is excellent, even on a busy Friday night (we go once a week). Do yourself a favor and check this pizza joint out. I used to work for a Pizza Shop in PA and know what to look for in good pizza, this is good pizza. Enjoy.
